Save The Echo Bunker!

Post your stories about being banned from Echo Bunker communities here.

NOTE: Not everyone has the same sense of humor. In fact, it is quite apparent that some people have no sense of humor at all and that some toxic communities and echo bunkers REALLY hate it when their attempts to silence those who don't agree with them fail because they forgot that those people can just make fun of them outside of their echo bunkers. Those toxic communities will come here and continue to argue but will become more and more frustrated because they can't silence us here.

So...for those of you to whom it isn't ABUNDANTLY clear (please look up Dunning Kruger) this sub is for making fun of those toxic echo bunker communities and subreddits. If you can't take a joke then this might not be the sub for you.

AND...if you're a member of one of those toxic echo bunker communities and come here to try to defend those toxic echo bunker communities please do expect to me made fun of. We're here for you.

ALSO...really lean into those completely meaningless downvotes. It's fucking hysterical that you think that they make any difference at all here.

RULES

This sub only has three rules.

  1. This sub is for making fun of toxic echo bunker communities that remove comments that don't conform to the orthodoxy and ban anyone who doesn't agree with the group think.

98. Don't be a dick.

  1. The mod(s) has/have the final say.

I used to post quite actively in r/soapmaking since, well, I'm a soap maker.

My wife and I raised the pigs, rendered the lard, and mixed it with other oils and lye to make soap. You know, soap making.

r/soapmaking was filled with people who bought soap that other people made, melted it, mix in perfume and glitter, poured it into moulds, and sold it. I pointed out that they weren't actually making soap but were doing arts and crafts with soap that other people make.

They set upon my like a bunch of extremist vegans at a BBQ. I said that there wasn't anything wrong with doing soap arts and crafts but that it wasn't really soap making since they didn't actually make soap.

They called me arrogant for not accepting that not making soap was soap making and banned me. I can't remember whether it was permanent or temporary but I never went back.

What is the saponification number of the oils that you’re using

The animal fat I use sometimes is 195-200.

Are you using NaOH or KOH

That depends on the soap that I make but I prefer a soft soap using caustic potash.

But these days I'm content with carving the soap, it's not that easy to get chemicals where I'm living.

That's soap making.

I have six 40 kg bags of KOH in my storage building that I was given by a lab that was shutting down in a small city near where I live. I have the advantage of having studied chemistry in university so I speak the language and they trusted me. I found when I got home that they had slipped a number of bottles of chemicals that I didn't ask about into my truck.

Yeah that's how I got arrested for methamphetamine production the first time so I hear you.

I wasn't making it, but that's what the people put in my car.

One of the other things that lab gave me was anhydrous, pharmaceutical grade methanol. A 219 L barrel. I've been considering doing an tertiary alcohol catalyzed magnesium reduction of the KOH to give me potassium metal. My wife objects.

Careful.

Now I'm about three-quarters of the way through my sentence, carving soap to pass the time and apparently getting punked by lemmings who don't consider it soap making.

Don't let it happen to you.

Very nicely done.
